My name is BASANOTTO,
I was born in the Ligurian inland at the home of “Origine Liquori
Vallebormida”, through a selection of the best ingredients typical
of our region:
INGREDIENTS:
Organic grain alcohol, cane sugar, DOP Genoese basil,
sage, chinotto (Slow Food Presidium of Savona), lemon peel,
mint, in mineral water from the Fonte Bauda spring of Calizzano.
PRODUCTION:
After a 30-day maceration of the ingredients (with the exception of Sage and Basil which
require a shorter maceration), into a room temperature blend
composed of water and alcohol, I am filtered and left to rest for 10 days, then filtered again
under high pressure to make me clear. Once bottled, I wait a further 10 days
for the molecular recomposition of the aromas to occur and finally be ready
to be appreciated.
A TYPICAL TASTE
On the nose, the citrus scents of lemon and chinotto stand out
which are completed by the herbaceous notes of basil and sage,
while mint gives a pleasant freshness.
When tasted, it maintains an excellent taste-olfactory correspondence
between citrus fruits and medicinal herbs; on the palate it is delicate and velvety
with a pleasantly persistent finish.
HOW TO TASTE ME?
You can enjoy me straight, with ice, cold and as a base for
numerous cocktails.
